Description

This rarely available top floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in one of Reading’s most desirable waterside developments. With one of the only private roof terraces in the building, this apartment combines modern interiors with outdoor space that is perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying tranquil views across the Kennet Canal.

Whether you’re a professional seeking a convenient and comfortable Monday–Friday apartment or someone looking for a long-term home in the heart of Reading, this property combines waterside tranquillity with city convenience and a unique private terrace – a rare find in the town centre.

The apartment opens into a welcoming hallway, leading to a bright and spacious open-plan living and dining room with double doors opening directly onto the terrace. The space is flooded with natural light, creating a warm and inviting environment that feels as suited to entertaining friends as it does to quiet evenings at home.

The modern fitted kitchen is designed for both style and practicality, featuring a range of wood-effect units, tiled flooring, and integrated appliances including oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge-freezer. With ample storage and workspace, and a view onto the terrace. Making it as practical for quick midweek meals as it is for weekend entertaining.

There are two generous double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite shower room and a charming view of one of St Giles’s Church Spire. A further family bathroom with white suite and shower over bath. Both bathrooms are modern and functional, providing flexibility for sharers, couples, or visiting guests.

A true highlight of this property is the private roof terrace, a rare feature within the development. The terrace has a raised deck feature which offers far-reaching views over the town, the canal, and beyond — an ideal space for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or evening drinks as the sun sets.
